Offering the inside scoop on where dogs are welcome, this special breed of guidebook is perfect for travelers and residents who don’t want to leave their canine pals behind.

The Dog's Lover's Companion series features extensive information on everything from the best hound-hospitable parks, beaches, and recreation areas to the dog-friendliest restaurants, hotels, and shops in select regions across the country. Each guide features the illustrations of celebrated San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist Phil Frank.
